A 46-year-old woman with a court-imposed order to not possess animals was arrested on suspicion of having dogs in her Innisfail, Alberta hotel room late Tuesday night.
On Wednesday morning, RCMP searched her room at the Bluebird Motel and found eight dogs in distress. They were taken to Klassic Kennels, a pet boarding facility in the area, and police are investigating if the dogs were stolen.
RCMP also received a complaint about a woman posing as a law enforcement officer asking other people about their dogs and attempting to take them. Investigators are trying to figure out whether the same woman was involved.
Anyone with information these incidents is asked to contact Innisfail RCMP at 403-227-3342. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
